Nine species no longer hatch from Eggs, Hyper Rare tier introduced!

the Silph Road published a research study today, highlighting recent egg changes. In total, nine Pokemon species no longer hatch from eggs, while a new rarity tier was discovered: hyper rare egg hatches.

The following species no longer hatch from eggs:

Bulbasaur

Charmander

Squirtle

Staryu

Ekans

Goldeen

Magnemite

Vulpix

Yanma

We are happy to see that Niantic has re-balanced the egg hatch pool, as a number of these Pokemon have no future use or potential. We are a bit sad to see Magmenite and Yanma go, mostly due to their future Gen IV evolutions.

In addition to removing the above mentioned species, Niantic has introduced a new rarity tier for eggs, titled Hyper Rare, which indicates species which are incredibly difficult to hatch. The Pokemon in this rarity tier are as follows:
